High-intensity focused ultrasound combined procedures treatment of retained placenta accreta with marked vascularity after abortion or delivery.
International Journal of Hyperthermia 2019 March 21
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of combined procedures: HIFU combined with systemic MTX followed by ultrasound-guided curettage or hysteroscopic resection while treating placenta accreta (PA).
METHOD: This study included 21 patients diagnosed with retained PA with marked vascularity after abortion or delivery from July 2015 to December 2017. Patients with high serum β-hCG level (≥100 mIU/mL) received systemic MTX + HIFU treatment for 3 days and the ones with low β-hCG level (<100 mIU/mL) only received USgHIFU treatment for 3 days before ultrasound-guided curettage or hysteroscopic resection. All patients had completed follow-up data. The safety and feasibility of the treatment were evaluated retrospectively.
RESULT: Sixteen patients received systemic 100 mg MTX without myelosuppression. All patients received three days of HIFU ablation therapy; the median of HIFU treatment time was 60 minutes. Ultrasound-guided curettage and ovum forceps were used to extract planted placental tissue in 5 patients with one week after birth or after abortion. Sixteen patients received a hysteroscopic operation after the HIFU treatment. The median of intraoperative blood loss was 30 ml. Twenty patients had recovered normal menstruation on average 32 days (range 14-60) after the operation.
CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, with a relatively small number of patients, it seems that three-days' therapy of HIFU ± systemic MTX followed by ultrasound-guided curettage or hysteroscopic resection, is a safe and feasible treatment for retained PA with marked vascularity after abortion or delivery.
